Q3 was a very active quarter with no let-up in buyer demand in July and August, traditionally quieter months. In September there was a notable increase in the supply of properties coming to market which combined with raising interest rates saw price inflation cool. Demand is strongest for properties priced up to €450,000 where first time buyers are most active and for houses in turn-key condition. Our data confirms that the crisis in the Dublin rental market continues to deepen.
